The Cowboys have some tough decisions to make at cornerback

It was an interesting year for the defense of the Dallas Cowboys. With a new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer and a slew of injuries, there were plenty of highs and lows. At times during the season, the defense was a hot mess, but things improved as the year progressed.

When you look at the season as a whole, there were some good things...

  • Sack percentage = 9.22%, second-best in the league
  • Third-down conversion rate = 36.6%, ninth-best in the league

And there were some bad things...

  • Points allowed per game = 27.
